David Lawrence 15th Mar 2023

Judith and her exceptional team could not possibly have done anymore to make a sad day go without any problems.

Eddie Thornton 15th Mar 2023

Thank you for all your consideration in guiding through both the preparation for Mum's Funeral and for managing the proceedings so beautifully on the day - even to the extent of shovelling snow from the front of Church! We really appreciate all that was done. The whole process was respectful and dignified and all your staff - particularly Helen - are thoroughly professional. Thank you yet again.

About Us

Established in 1952, George Brooke funeral directors offer compassionate funeral planning services to the North Kirklees area, including Dewsbury, Batley, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Ossett. The office is open all week and 9am-2.30pm on Saturday.

A family-run and owned business, the George Brooke team promises to take the time to listen to a family’s requirements. Helen and Judith Brooke pride themselves on giving the bereaved help with all their needs during a difficult time, allowing them to plan the ideal bespoke funeral for their loved one.

George Brooke funeral directors work with families from all religious backgrounds and can cater to faith-specific needs, such as dedicated washing facilities for Hindu and Sikh families. They also have civil celebrants and humanist officiants for non-religious funeral services.

A chapel of rest is available for use at both the Dewsbury and Mirfield premises, as well as an area for holding funeral teas following ceremonies. George Brooke can also offer a hearse and three funeral vehicles for hire.

  • 5 Amanda Barrell 27th Feb 2023

    I really don't have adequate words to describe the absolutely top- class, personal service provided by George Brookes at every stage of the process! I would like to commend each and every member of staff, they are all so very professional, sensitive and helpful.
    Helen was so lovely, putting me at ease in our first meeting.
    Office staff and drivers were all so helpful.
    The service, most sensitively delivered by the celebrant Sarah, was a wonderful tribute to my Mum. Hence I will always remember the funeral with comforting memories that helped the distress we felt. I could never praise George Brookes staff enough. They almost feel like family, and I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart for making a sad process hopeful and healing.
